THE AMAZING RACE 12 Open Casting Call An Open Casting Call is an event your local station holds for THE AMAZING RACE.

When you attend an Open Call, you will fill out an application and be put on camera there. You do not need to bring your own tape, and you do not need a copy of your passport. Open Calls alleviate the headaches and expenses of making your own tape, transferring it to VHS format and mailing it.

These events are also lots of fun. Meet fellow AMAZING RACE fans, make some new friends, enjoy. Your local station will send the tape directly to the casting department, where it will be watched by the casting team and treated the same as it would be if you sent in an individual tape yourself.
